Marshall honours Celestion’s centenary with a handcrafted 20W Studio JTM reissue featuring a special-edition Celestion 100 speaker. As we reported last week, Marshall has teased the amp on social media for a while now.
Marshall Celestion 100 Amp
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of legendary speaker manufacturer Celestion, Marshall Amps is releasing a limited-edition version of their popular Studio JTM tube amplifier. The Celestion 100 features a hand-built aesthetic and a specially designed Celestion 100 speaker, paying homage to the classic sound that shaped generations of guitarists.
Limited Availability, Classic Tone
Only 100 units of the Celestion 100 will be available worldwide, making it a true collector’s item for guitar enthusiasts. This 20-watt head features a pair of ECC83 preamp valves, two 5881 power amp valves, and an ECC83 phase splitter, meticulously designed to deliver the warm midrange and crunchy highs that defined the early days of rock and roll.
Celestion 100 Speaker: A Legacy Reimagined
The centrepiece of the Celestion 100 is the new 12-inch Celestion 100 Alnico speaker. Celestion engineers meticulously recreated the tonal characteristics of the company’s earliest Alnico speakers, ensuring a powerful and nuanced sound.
Hand-Built Quality
The Celestion 100 is a testament to British craftsmanship. Built-in Marshall’s Bletchley factory, the amp features finger-jointed cabinets, hand-welded chassis, and hand-soldered components. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees an inspiring and reliable playing experience.
A Collaboration Steeped in History
The Celestion 100 celebrates a long-standing partnership between two of music’s most revered brands. “Celestion has been part of the Marshall family right from the very beginning,” says Steve Smith, Product Expert for Musical Instruments at Marshall Group. “The Celestion 100 is a perfect tribute to this shared legacy.”
Limited Availability in the UK
With only 15 units available in the UK through select retailers, the Marshall Celestion 100 will surely be a sought-after collector’s item.
MSRP – £2059.99
